I'm trying to find out which tail light I've been seeing lately, as it's excellent and I want one. This light is a simple single extremely bright LED that has a slow strobe cycle of about once per second (on for a second, off for a second). This is the best tail light I've seen (as a driver from behind). The lens or reflector makes it look like a simple 10mm or so spot, and can be seen for hundreds of metres. No other LED's present.

I find tail lights that flash rapidly actually make some people try not to look (me being one of them) as it can trigger migraine - not a good outcome for a safety lamp!

Radbot has 3 settings:Slow pulse, quick flash and constant on.I'm very happy with mine, I use it in quick flash mode.I found out about the Radbot when I was following a cyclist on my commute and was very impressed with their rear light. When I caught them at the traffic lights I asked what light it was and promptly got one myself.Paired with a Superflash on my helmet I think I'm well lit from the rear Cheers,Peter

Any ideas? I've seen a few lately, but haven't been able to ask.

with that sort of flash pattern I doubt its the Radbot (I've had several, still got the dead boddies). Could be the cygolite hotshot which has an adjustable flash pattern and duration.

Yeah, great light Pete but I'm not fond of the mount either. I MagGyvered a bit of sheetmetal into a bolt on tongue that works perfectly on a standard Superflash bracket for better fit with the available space on the seatpost of my commuter. I reckon I could manage something if you came up with dimensions and pics of what's needed.

Care for a quick pic pls?

Sure thing, here yer go. I must've deleted the MSPCAD file but I found a hard copy in the shed and scanned it.

The drawing doesn't show (or allow for) the dogleg needed in the adaptor shown in the side view-because I forgot about it right up to first test fit The hole for the latch took some work with rattails after falling off a 4mm drill bit. A cold chisel and hammer was used to put a small lip into the lower edge of the latch hole. It's worked a treat so far.
